4 Bedroom Detached House

Homes For You present this exceptional detached Edwardian villa, dating from around 1908 and originally known as Westbank. Originally part of the historic Crownest Estate lands owned by the Carron Company, this distinctive home enjoys a fascinating connection to Larbert's past whilst offering spacious and flexible accommodation perfectly suited to modern family life.

Tucked away within mature grounds in the heart of Larbert, the property is one of those homes that many people pass without ever appreciating what lies beyond. Once viewed, however, its scale, character and presence are impossible to forget. Combining period charm, generous proportions and a highly convenient location, Westbank represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Larbert's hidden gems.

The accommodation extends to over 2,200 sq ft and is entered via an impressive reception hall which immediately showcases the home's rich character. Beautiful timber wall panelling, original wood flooring, a striking staircase and an eye-catching stained-glass window create a wonderful first impression. Throughout the property, a wealth of period features remain, including attractive fireplaces, bay windows, detailed woodwork and generous room proportions rarely found in modern homes.

The ground floor provides excellent flexibility with a spacious living room, elegant sitting room, formal dining room and a further recreation room which could easily serve as a family room, home office or playroom. The dining kitchen offers ample space for everyday family life and enjoys direct access to the rear deck and gardens, while a ground floor bathroom adds further convenience.

Upstairs, the property offers four generous double bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with en suite facilities. The family bathroom enjoys plenty of natural light from a tall feature window and includes a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure and attractive tiled flooring, creating a room that sits comfortably alongside the property's period character.

Externally, the mature south-west facing gardens are a particular highlight. Established trees and planting provide privacy and a wonderful backdrop, while the split-level design creates interest and space for the whole family to enjoy. A staircase to the side of the garden leads down to the lower lawned section, offering a peaceful setting to enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine. Adding further convenience, a gate to the rear provides quick and easy pedestrian access towards Larbert Main Street, allowing residents to enjoy all the benefits of town centre living without sacrificing outdoor space or privacy.

A particular feature of the property is the substantial detached double garage and separate workshop, providing excellent storage, secure parking and valuable workspace. Whether for hobbies, additional storage or practical day-to-day use, this is a fantastic addition rarely found with properties in such a central location.

Whilst some areas would benefit from modernisation and upgrading to suit contemporary tastes, this should be viewed as one of the property's greatest opportunities. The next owner has the chance to enhance and personalise a substantial period home while retaining the character, craftsmanship and individuality that make it so special.

The location is exceptional. Larbert Railway Station is within a five-minute walk, providing direct links to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling, making the property ideal for commuters. Forth Valley Royal Hospital, highly regarded schools, supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities are all within easy reach, while excellent motorway connections provide straightforward travel throughout Central Scotland.

Rarely do homes of this character, scale and potential become available in such a central Larbert location. Westbank offers a unique combination of history, space, original features and future potential, creating an exciting opportunity for the next owner to make this remarkable house their own.
